When CNN first called the election in favor of Obama, I looked at Traci and said "oh no, don't do that...it's too early to do that", and then we immediately flipped over to MSNBC and realized they had just done the same, and I was filled with numbness. And then delirium! Hot deadlines here at the moment, so I can only listen to the TV instead of watch it right now, but every time Obama's acceptance speech comes on, I'm watching history. In some ways, every time it's replayed, it makes the unreal just a little more real, and after this eight-year national nightmare, I guess I need that today. Feels so good. The work has only begun though. Now we have an opportunity, and I'm eager to see what we can do with it.
